MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
BOONE TOWING INC,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
For the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:04-CV-2109
Before KING, BARKSDALE, and GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
We previously remanded this case to the district court for amendment of its judgment to
include findings of fact and conclusions of law as required by Rule 52(c). We now address
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
Appellant’s remaining argument that the district court erred in granting judgment as a matter of law
at the conclusion of Appellant’s case in chief. Appellant contends that the evidence it introduced was
sufficient to demonstrate that Appellee negligently caused the boat collision at issue in the case.
We review findings of fact made pursuant to Rule 52(c) for clear error and conclusions of law
de novo. Bodin v. Vagshenian,
462 F.3d 481, 484 (5th Cir. 2006). The credibility determination of
witnesses is particularly in the province of the district court. Bursztajn v. United States,
367 F.3d
485, 489 (5th Cir. 2004).
After reviewing the record and the district court’s findings, we find that Appellant failed to
introduce evidence sufficient to demonstrate that Appellee acted negligently. Accordingly, the district
court did not err in granting judgment as a matter of law.
AFFIRMED.
